Case Study: Ewals Cargo Care achieves 400% faster data-mart deliverability and 1.7-year payback with Qlik

Ewals Cargo Care - Customer Case Study

Ewals Cargo Care, a family-owned logistics firm operating across 35 locations in Europe and handling ~3,400 loads per day, faced a stalled analytics program built on an Oracle data warehouse and SAP BusinessObjects. The legacy architecture lacked data lineage, produced slow and unreliable reports, and required lengthy, consultant-driven CDC and development work—adding tables or sources took over 20 days and the initial data vault project took two years to deliver.

Ewals rebuilt its stack with Qlik (data replication and warehouse automation), Snowflake, and Microsoft Power BI, automating CDC and data-vault processes and eliminating Oracle dependencies. The new architecture cut source onboarding to about 5 days, enabled new data marts in roughly two weeks, improved data-mart deliverability by 400%, retired Oracle licenses and third‑party support, and delivered a 77% annual ROI with a 1.7‑year payback, while increasing agility and scalability for future BI needs.
